Comments Off on PENNSYLVANIA: 1,000 Electric Vehicle Chargers Placed Statewide
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, June 29, 2021 (ENS) – Patrick McDonnell, who heads Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection, DEP, is celebrating the fact that 1,000 Level 2 electric vehicle chargers have been installed across the state, especially in small towns, with funding from the DEP Driving PA Forward program.
The Level 2 program is one of eight Driving PA Forward programs that are using Pennsylvania’s $118.5 million settlement from the Volkswagen emissions cheating scandal to drive the transition toward zero-emission and low-emission vehicles and equipment and accelerate installation of related infrastructure.
Driving PA Forward is investing the maximum amount allowed by the settlement to support charging infrastructure – nearly $17 million.
